"This was a good collection of stories. Most are good with just a very few being meh. Some, I'm not quite sure how they fit into the horror genre. By far and away, the best story was The Hangman's Bride. Other favorites were Its a Wonderful Knife, Yankees Swap, Good Deeds, Love Me, and Hiking Through. I would recommend it if you're looking for a good winter themed short story collection."

"Fave story: The Hangman’s Bride, which for me is why I gave this book a 4 star; let alone. The previous stories are just a mere, 3.5; in my opinion."
